If Isaiah were alive today, he might’ve written a Christmas carol about God’s salvation. His words burst with joy: “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid.” It’s the kind of joy that makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs—even if you can’t carry a tune in a bucket!

Christmas is a celebration of salvation. Jesus came to rescue us, not just from sin but also from fear, loneliness, and despair. His salvation is like unwrapping the biggest, most unexpected gift under the tree—nope not the Red Rider BB Gun. I’m talking about joy – pure joy!

This Advent, rejoice in the gift of salvation. Let it lift your spirits and inspire your song.

Reflection: What has God saved you from, and how does that bring you joy today?

Application: Sing! Whether it’s a carol or a simple prayer of thanks, let your joy overflow in praise.
